Hi,
Can you please help answer these questions from my customer? Thanks!
(1) Could the device operate safely at the lowest voltage (i.e., 1.8V +/- 0.1V or 1.9V +/- 0.1V)?
(2) What is the accuracy between 20C and 45C? Are all units tested for accuracy specs during manufacturing? Is the accuracy specification in terms of RMS (i.e., 68% confidence) or 95% confidence?
(3) Is this device recommended for measuring skin temperature in clinical settings? What is the standard used for testing the claimed accuracy?
(4) In terms of performance and power consumption, is the smallest package (1 x 1.5 mm) equivalent to the 2 x 2 mm?
(5) If a temperature reading is taken every 1 second, what is the optimal configuration (i.e., i2c clock frequency and other settings) that maintains claimed accuracy and minimizes power consumption? What would be the total power consumption for this configuration? Will it change significantly if the supply voltage varies from 3.6V to 1.8V?
(6) Does the claimed accuracy change significantly with supply voltage?
(7) If we decide not to use the alert pin, should we leave it open or grounded/vcc with a resistor? Does it impact power consumption?
